Belk Bowl
Nick Chubb, RB, Georgia, 2014 -- Set a bowl record with 266 yards rushing and two touchdowns in leading the
Bulldogs past Louisville 37-14. Chubb’s total was the second-highest single-game rush total in school history,
behind only Herschel Walker’s 283 yards against Vanderbilt in 1980.
Dak Prescott, QB, Mississippi State, 2015 -- Closed out his college career in impressive fashion, throwing for a Belk
Bowl-record 380 yards and four touchdowns in Mississippi State's 51-28 victory over North Carolina State.
Selected the game MVP, Prescott completed 25 of 42 passes and ran for 47 yards to become the fourth player
in FBS history to throw for 9,000 yards and run for 2,500 yards.
Last Year’s Game:
It was a fitting ending to senior quarterback John Wolford's adversity-filled career -- one where nothing seemed
to come easy. The four-year starter who battled through two difficult sack-filled 3-9 seasons to begin his career,
threw for 400 yards and four touchdowns to help Wake Forest beat Texas A&M 55-52 in the Belk Bowl on Friday.
It was Wake Forest's second straight bowl season with a bowl win and its first eight-win season since 2008. The
teams combined for 1,260 yards and 107 points, tied for the fourth-highest scoring game in college bowl history.
The all-time record is the 2011 GMAC Bowl where Marshall and East Carolina combined for 125 points. Running back
Matt Colburn ran for 150 yards and provided the go-ahead score with 2:18 left in the game. Aggies quarterback
Nick Starkel threw for a Belk Bowl-record 499 yards and four touchdowns -- three of those to NFL-ready wide
receiver Christian Kirk, who caught 13 passes for 189 yards. Scotty Washington had nine catches for 138 yards and a
touchdown for the Demon Deacons, while tight end Cam Serigne had nine catches for 112 yards and a score. Tabari
Hines added eight receptions for 58 yards and two touchdowns. Wake Forest spotted Texas A&M (7-6) a 14-point
first quarter lead following a pair of special teams miscues, but rattled off 31 straight points in a span of 11 minutes,
16 seconds to take a 31-14 lead in the second quarter.
